]]>Homemade creamy smooth hummus is way better than store bought and it is really easy to make. All you need to pay attention to is the order in which you put the ingredients into your food processor. Most hummus recipes use tahini, a savoury sesame paste common to the mediterranean kitchen. Tahini greatly adds to the taste, but if you don’t like it, or for some reason can’t find any in your local store and don’t have time to make it fresh, you’re free to leave it out.

First add the tahini to your food processor and whip thoroughly, while you drain and rinse your chickpeas. You will notice the tahini get thicker and much lighter in color. Add the chickpeas and liquids in portions, leaving the processor running for a while between each step. Lastly add the spices. If your hummus seems to thick or still has chunks, add a little liquid from the chickpeas or water and leave the food processor turned on some more.

]]>On a hot summer’s day, this is an excellent drink, not only for the kids, and it can easily be done in just a few seconds. If you don’t have any fresh raspberries in your garden—and I strongly, urge you to plant some berry bushes wherever you can—raspberries from the market or store are fine too, even the frozen ones. Just make sure they’re unsugared, we don’t want the excess calories, and quite frankly we don’t even need sugar in a natural drink. You might be surprised how much sweetness comes from fruit itself.

This couldn't be any simpler. Squish mint leaves with your hands and put into a glass with a couple of raspberries. If the berries are frozen, give them a minute to thaw.

Add a dash of lime juice and some ice cubes, then stir to squish the berries, releasing the flavor. Fill up with fresh spring water or soda.

Garnish with a few more whole berries and mint leaf on top. Enjoy!

Expert tip:

Mint comes in various species. If you want to grow your own, get a few different ones and enjoy the fine nuances in taste with a matching dish or beverage. A species with low menthol, like strawberry mint or mentha nemorosa is best for drinks.

]]>To date, the hottest pepper out there, is called the “Carolina Reaper”, and it’s a little bastard you won’t want to mess with, unless you eat you chili like a boss and apart from that, are a little suicidal! However, there are a lot of other hot peppers you can easily get in your local grocery store. Here’s a rough list of the most common ones you might want to incorporate into your cooking, sorted in order of awesomeness.
